Nobu London, Mayfair (Bar / Restaurant / Hotel)“Much fuss is made about the difficulty of obtaining tables at this swanky iconic restaurant in London's Park Lane, however, book sensibly in advance (1-2 month's and we had a table for 30) and one of the best food experiences in London is yours. The food created here by the restaurants nakesake, Nobu Matsuhisa, is imaginative, innovative, and above all downright tasty! The service was excellent, with all of the courses (9 in total) being served smoothly and timely, and despite the exclusive outer/media persona all of the staff were friendly, courteous and helpful. Get yourself on the guestlist (or book a room) for a few after dinner drinks in the fashionable Met Bar housed downstairs (both restaurant and bar are housed in the Metropolitan Hotel) to finish the night off nicely. Altogether a fab night out, shall be returning soon.”

Vertigo 42, City of London (Bar / Restaurant)“"the cheapest drink comes in at £10 a glass and you rate it value for money - wish i was earning your salary (sorry didn't get chance to try the £1295.00 Veuve Clicquot, Ponsardin Yellow Label Brut)."
In response to above, suggest user reads wine list more carefully, £1295 is the price for a Nebuchadnezzar (20 Bottles), so works out at £64.75/bottle, pretty much what you would expect to pay. Am going to Vertigo this weekend, will let you know what it's like (hopefully not full of uncultured idiots).”
